| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8960 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MU.14.11.30. 58-GN. With reference to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}18/E13.11.30. We are sorry that you do not like the Klaxon as we think it is the nearest we can get to the Bosch horn. Do you like the Bosch horn because we believe this is the best vibrator horn and one we have been aiming to reproduce?. The Klaxon you have has an adjustable note operated by the screw at the top of the horn, which can be turned with a sixpence. Perhaps before you take it off you would try other notes. We are returning your own Klaxon to Barlow Mews. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
